Learn how to superimpose major triads on the flat‑7 of minor chords to create rich upper‑structure voicings and tensions.
This lesson demonstrates the technique of placing a major triad on the flat seventh of a minor seventh chord, turning simple voicings into extended sounds (e.g., m7♭7+major = m9/11 color). Ariel walks through examples (Dmi7 with C major on top), practical applications for II–V movement and comping, and offers a short playing challenge to internalize the concept. Includes guidance on inversions and voice movement so you can apply the idea across keys and contexts.
